Subcutaneous bodyfat wobbles and ripples when swimming fast (or doing any other vigorous activity), creating additional drag in the water. Those ultra-tight suits stopped the wobbling, giving a greater speed boost to swimmers with more wobbly fat than lean swimmers.
If the shoe gives a bigger benefit to second-tier professional runners than the very best runners, that's a good reason to ban them from official competition.Last edited by 18.99s; 10-17-2019 at 05:00 PM.
